photo: Jason ShellenMany happy returns. I'm glad you came along when you did. My life wouldn't have been the same without you. Thanks to Ev, Meg, Paul, Matt and Derek for dreaming up such a fun playground for me personally and professionally. Thanks to those who helped power the [b] during the hard times and for those keeping it real over at Google. You know who you are.

Howdy sports fans - I have some non-scandalous confessions and disclosures to make. I hope this post won't get too long but when you are weeks behind in posting then there's nothing like a lightning round post like this one. First up, the geeky stuff:I accepted an offer to join the RSS Advisory Board two weeks ago. I know what you are asking yourselves, 'Can I get a Friends and Family discount on angle brackets and rel tags?' Some of you might find my joining the board as odd since I'm one of the core folks to start the Atom initiative.

Have your people call my people or maybe our people can have a thing of their own and podcast it and I can just listen to it on the web anyway and then I don't have to feel bad about not going.If you need me this weekend I'll be at the beach eating hotdogs and building sandcastles with these guys.

About this Blog

From 2000 to 2012, I used Blogger to write about all sort of things. I wrote about my time on the Blogger team, joining Google, building Google Reader, family, technology, and start-up life. I even maintained a link blog called On the Side that I've archived here. However, I've moved on from Blogger and the best way to keep up with me is over at shellen.com.
